Windows 7 Loading World of Warcraft and its extension packs on Win 7 system.

[jdacolorado]

how are you to load the WOW gaming program on to a system with Win 7? i have been at it for 8 hours now. if i use my 9 discs this is the error i receive during the 2nd disc load using Burning Crusade.
The file "Files\unconditional\user\Data\enUS\Interface\Cinematics\WOW_Intro_BC_1024.avi" in archive "C:\Users\Jeffrey\Desktop\WoW Installer\Installer Tome 2.mpq" could not be opened, because an error 104 occurred. If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (MPQFile::OpenFromArchive)

if i download it off the WOW website like every WOW tech support person has told me too and other players i receive this error message.

---------------------------

---------------------------
Failed to create files for World of Warcraft Installer.
Please close all applications and try again.

OK

Where is the proper file folder AKA area on the Win 7 operating system to load this game so i may play it on my new Dell laptop?

thank you for your help and time.
Peace
